From the bestselling author of The Mars Trilogy comes a spectacular new novel of the near future. Beneath its ice and frozen wastes, Antarctica contains great riches of mineral wealth. Antarctica tells the story of the greedy conflict of nations and political extremists who battle for control of the planet's final frontier.

When the treaty protecting Antarctica from profiteers is about to dissolve--sending politicians and corporations scrambling to plunder its resources--a radical environmental group embarks on a campaign of sabotage to protect the land's pristine beauty.
